First question...
We have people SSHing into our Linux box from overseas (India to US, company
access only). But files that are uploaded from these people become read-only
to anyone else accessing them. We *require* that they be readable/writable
by this side of the pond (US). How can I set this to occur? Otherwise, this
method of transferring files will *not* work for us, and perhaps someone can
point me to another solution.

Second question...
How can I recursively set all files/directories to 777?
Chmod -R 777 *.* ... Didn't seem to hit everything.

Thanks!
